10 reasons why it is right to invest in property

  1. More leverage
    Property offers more financial leverage, and the more leverage you have, the more quickly you can build wealth.
    “For example, if I purchase a property for $500,000 I can put down a 10% deposit and borrow 90% from the bank.  If that property increases in value by 10% I have made $50,000, because I have only contributed 10% of the purchase price but I get 100% of the growth.

    2. Investing in property is simple
    The amount of paperwork needed to produce and information you need to assimilate can be daunting at first, but the investment process in itself is remarkably simple.  There are no complicated steps  needed to taken. As long as finances are  sorted out, you can start doing your research to find the right property. If you apply thorough due diligence in terms of getting inspection and valuation, there’s little risk for you to overpay or buy a dud property.

    3. You have “control” of your investment
    Unlike other investments classes, property offers you with many options in terms of growing the value and income on your property. You can also control where you buy, how you buy and when to sell.

    4. You have stability
    Real estate is less volatile than stocks or mutual funds, especially in uncertain economic times. The continuing demand for housing fuelled by strong population growth ensures property prices are supported in general.

    It’s also worth noting that the price drops most people fear are NOT real losses until you actually sell the property. If the property was purchased correctly and generates a healthy cash flow, the investment can be sustained until the price gets back up again.

    5. Property is an easy asset to understand
    Unlike the share markets where there are complicated terminologies you need to get your head around, real estate is relatively simple. You know what a house, unit or a townhouse is and you don’t need a 60-page prospectus to tell you all about it.

    6. The taxman helps you pay off your investments
    You can claim a range of tax deductible expenses through your investment property, which will help reduce your tax bills and improve your cash flow. A good accountant can help you cut your tax expenses by the tens of thousands of dollars, legally through your investment property.

    7. Your tenants pay your mortgage
    Another advantage to property investing is that tenants are paying down your mortgage while you sit and watch your investment grow in value.

    8. Property offers predictability
    Property is undoubtedly more predictable than other investment-classes.  With well-chosen property, you can look out to 18 or 24 months into the future and know which direction the market pressures will be pushing, unlike the share markets where anything could change within seconds.

    9. Property is recession-proof
    Property with strong cash flow can ride uncertain times such as during a recession for simple reason that it meets a basic need- housing. People will always need a place to live, even during difficult times. They would do everything just to have roof over their heads. They are prepared to forgo other luxuries just to have enough money to pay for their rents or mortgage.

    10. Property can make you rich
    Real estate makes more billionaires than any other asset classes. In the recent Forbes Billionaire’s List, it reported that a total of 135 property tycoons now make up the world’s wealthiest list with 14 property billionaires joining the ranks this year alone, boosted by surging property values around the world.
